Instructions

  1. Prepare the cake according to the box instructions in a 13x9-inch baking pan.
  2. While the cake is baking, combine the sweetened condensed milk and cream of coconut in a bowl and whisk until combined..
  3. Remove the cake from the oven and pie holes through the cake with a wooden skewer, or the handle of a wooden spoon.
  4. While the cake is still warm, pour the coconut mixture evenly over the top of the cake. Let the cake cool completely.

  6. When ready to serve, spread the whipped topping over the top of the cake. Sprinkle the coconut on top.

Notes

  • Make sure you are using cream of coconut, not coconut milk. It is usually found in the drink mixer section of the grocery store.
  • This recipe was originally posted in 2012. The only changes made were to cut the whipped topping and coconut amounts in half.
